e: oh gently caress me, new page. Well, I'm not one bit surprised by all the offers to help. Goons are good people. I hope we can make life a little easier for a stranger named Matthew.

I have no idea if this is breaking any rules in the thread to keep talking about Matthew, as I had no idea his story would affect you guys so much, but I'm more than happy to answer any PMs. You guys are so amazing.

Paging PYF mods. Maybe create a separate thread for Matthew?

SA people have done wonderful things in the past. Helping a war vet stuck with PTSD... I'm not even an American but it seems like so unfair to just leave these people there like nothing ever happened. They've seen a shitload of nightmares, they should at least feel safe once back in their mother country. :smith:

I wonder if getting some folks together, or helping look up some shipping and moving companies would help. Just an idea, this way he can keep all his stuff, get an idea of the cost of shipping and timeframe for delivery, then pitch in and cover the cost of the move plus any necessities he'd need after getting home. :)

I hate to spoil the good feelings in the feel-good thread, but soliciting is against the forum rules. If you want to arrange anything, you will have to do it privately.

You guys are just... Your kindness is ridiculous. To answer the question:



He's ~2000 miles from home. If it were a matter of just loading on a plane and flying back, that would have been done already. However, dude brought everything he owns out there and it would be a pretty massive hit to morale to just leave it behind.

I have no idea if this is breaking any rules in the thread to keep talking about Matthew, as I had no idea his story would affect you guys so much, but I'm more than happy to answer any PMs. You guys are so amazing.

Go ahead and get the admins to open a thread for it and let's make this poo poo happen.

Counterpoint, there was no soliciting - just offerings. :unsmith:

Or Header Hacker for Chrome. You make a setting for "X-Forwarded-For Replace With 12.13.14.15" and then apply that to colbertnation.com and comedycentral.com


Aha, you're both awesome! I have no idea how all this headers business works, but it worked perfectly. Much appreciated to you both.

Just to give back a little, I thought the error message I got originally was pretty cute. I'm in Australia.

Sometimes I would catch my dog throwing his own ball in the air and trying catch it. He'd lightly bite it and fling his head up, tossing the ball and then he'd wait for it to arc back down and try do a running jump at it. Then it's 'Oh alright you, I'm here, lets throw the ball' :3:

I didn't want to make a whole thread for it, so I'll just ask here. Can I get some cute chihuahua pics or vids? I have someone to cheer up, and that's her favorite thing. Thanks in advance.

I believe that's what fluffy brown housecats look like as kittens. Kitten heads are pretty ovoid, man, while their ears are small.
